In 1966, over 80% of African American children were being raised in two-parent households — in 2006 this number has plummeted/fallen to 31%. Today 70% of Black professional women are single.

What is happening in the community that makes it so hard for women and men to build long-term, loving and mutually beneficial relationships and why are there so few people who manage to hold a marriage together, even after finding a person to love? Harper undertakes a journey in search of answers to these questions, his goal being to open lines of communication in the community through town hall meetings where people can come together and have real conversations. This discussion is for single and married, young and old, to speak openly about a topic that is often the focus of discussion on TV but rarely discussed face-to-face. (jasbro)… (more)
